Rosa and I attended New York’s Asian American International Film Festival where The Drummer screened on the closing day. The festival took place at the Asia Society on the Upper East side.

Guests and filmmakers chatting after a seminar.

Many old friends came to the screening. Rob Tinworth, editor of my first 35mm feature Rice Rhapsody, came from Rhode Island where he has relocated. Jean Tsien, award-winning editor of the Dixie Chicks documentary Shut Up and Sing, among others.

Q&A after the screening

Inside The Corner Deli in Soho which looks like any other deli, there’s a staircase that leads into a hip dance club. At night, there is a huge queue lining up to go in.

I love the tiles of the subway station names in New York.

Went to see the Salvador Dali exhibition at MOMA (Museum of Modern Art) I’m always amazed at how small his paintings were.
